Jim Bowen

Jim Bowen is best known for his ‘Bullseye’ TV game show which was regularly watched by over twelve million viewers for fourteen years and attained ‘cult’ status amongst university students, which led to regular appearances at Student Union venues.

As a direct result of his long and varied television work, Jim has become a famous face instantly recognised by the public.

Way back in the early 70's, Bowen's appearances on ‘The Comedians’ got him noticed and he is still one of the nicest guys you can find in showbiz, but also one of the wickedest wits. On Sunday evenings through the winter months, ‘Bullseye’ stopped being a game-show and became an institution. Jim Bowen's droll delivery earned him cult status and in many people’s eyes he became a god amongst television game show presenters. Jim's style and popular catchphrases such as "super, smashing, great", "stay out of the black and into the red, nothing in this game for two in a bed", "you can't beat a bit of bully" and "look at what you could have won", spawned a large number of mickey-takes (not to mention the odd notable out-take on ‘It'll Be Alright On The Night’).
